What Our Members Are Saying

I had a friend who wanted to sell her car. I wanted to buy it. I was not sure that I could get the money together. She suggested her credit union 1st Advantage Federal Credit Union. I didn’t think that I could join because I lived in the area. 1st Advantage Federal Credit Union allowed me to be a member for $5 and I was able to get my auto loan through them. They are excellent. You can do online billing, check your account and many great services without any of the disadvantages of banking. To put it simply they answer to the stock holder who is you!
